The Western Education and Library Board has confirmed that accommodation is available at Knockavoe Special School for a behavioural unit. This accommodation is currently being used, on a temporary basis, for education other than at school (EOTAS) provision in the Strabane area. This group includes those pupils who have been excluded from school for reasons related to their social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. It is envisaged that the behavioural unit is unlikely to be established until September 2007 at the earliest.
